The Gas Act 1992 (the Gas Act) provides for regulations to be made for the purpose of 'prescribing reasonable terms and conditions for access to transmission or distribution pipelines'. Gas Industry Co's 2006 review of transmission access issues identified a number of concerns relating to interconnection with transmission pipelines. Subsequent discussions between Gas Industry Co and interconnecting parties suggested that: interconnection processes were poorly defined; technical requirements for interconnection equipment had been changed during the course of projects; roles and responsibilities had been confusing; and liability/insurance matters had not been addressed until late in the process.
The objective of this Interconnection work programme is to ensure that the arrangements for interconnection with transmission pipelines are reasonable. If necessary, as the industry body under the Gas Act, Gas Industry Co may recommend the introduction of rules or regulations to achieve the objectives of the Gas Act and Government Policy Statement on Gas Governance (GPS).
Review Process
Gas Industry Co has developed Interconnection Guidelines (Guidelines) that set out its view on the features of good interconnection practice. Although these guidelines have no legal standing, Gas Industry Co intends that transmission system owners (TSOs) should use them to develop their interconnection services. It is also intended that parties seeking interconnection use them as a guide to the principles, processes, documentation, and dispute arrangements that might apply.
Gas Industry Co will monitor the interconnection services provided by pipeline owners. If these services do not meet the requirements of the Gas Act and GPS, Gas Industry Co will consider other options for improvement, including recommending rules or regulations to the Minister of Energy and Resources (Minister).
Summary of Status
In 2009, Gas Industry Co conducted an initial review of the interconnection arrangements of both Maui Development Limited (MDL) and Vector Limited (Vector) against the Guidelines. Both MDL and Vector made further improvements in response.
In 2010, we formally assessed the improved interconnection arrangements against the objectives of the Gas Act 1992 and Government Policy Statement on Gas Governance 2008. The findings were generally favourable.
In a letter dated 9 March 2011, the Associate Minister of Energy and Resources acknowledged this progress and requested Gas Industry Co to '…undertake a formal review of the current interconnection arrangements after the next two interconnections to each of the transmission pipelines, or by the end of 2013, whichever is sooner.'
In a letter to the Minister, dated 20 December 2013, Gas Industry Co advised that in response to the 2011 request, we have reviewed two physical interconnections to the Vector pipeline, but that no substantial interconnections to the Maui pipeline had occurred. However, two significant new Maui pipeline interconnections are expected to occur in the first half of 2014. We therefore propose waiting for these interconnections before completing our review.
The letter to the Minister also advises of the 'interconnection' of the gas trading markets. During 2013, the New Zealand Exchange (NZX) finalised arrangement for a gas market 'connected' to the Maui pipeline, and Energy Market Services ('EMS', a commercial business group within Transpower NZ) finalised arrangements for a gas market 'connected' to the Vector pipeline. These gas market arrangements do not relate to the interconnection of physical equipment, but do raise some similar issues. Also, given that gas trading on a centralised platform is a new concept for the New Zealand gas market and has the potential to improve market efficiency, Gas Industry Co suggests to the Minister that we also review these 'interconnections'.
In February 2009, Gas Industry Co issued the Transmission Pipeline Interconnection Guidelines (the Guidelines). The Guidelines set out its view on the features of good interconnection practice.
The objectives of the Guidelines are to:
• describe what a TSO's interconnection policy should address;
• describe the phases of interconnection, what should happen in each phase, and the key decision points;
• establish principles that should apply to the overall provision of an interconnection service, and to each phase of interconnection;
• encourage TSOs to adopt consistent interconnection documentation;
• establish clear responsibilities; and
• minimise barriers to entry by promoting transparency and efficiency.
Guidelines on Interconnection with Transmission Pipelines (February 2009)
In September 2009, a review was conducted on the interconnection arrangements of both MDL and Vector against the Guidelines. As a result of the review and discussions held with the TSOs, some amendments to the Guidelines were considered necessary. These amendments and the reasons for them are noted in the table below.
Guidelines on Interconnection with Transmission Pipelines (November 2009)
Amendments to Guidelines on Interconnection with Transmission Pipelines
3.2 Interconnection Policy
Each TSO should publish an interconnection policy that includes:
'the TSO's general policies relating to interconnection matters;'
An overarching interconnection policy would provide greater clarity to an interconnecting party (IP). A policy would provide a clear process for both parties in respect of information requirements, timelines, and responsibilities. It would also provide the principles for issues such as the near-by existing interconnection points.
5.2 Equipment Responsibilities
The TSO and IP should agree the ownership and demarcation points of the interconnection equipment. In particular, they need to consider who will own TSO specified assets (noting that regardless of ownership, all TSO specified assetsshould be designed, constructed, operated, maintained and tested in accordance with the TSO's standards).
For a delivery interconnection point (see Figure 3):
· ownership of the equipment downstream of the primary isolation valve should be agreed between the parties. The TSO should not be obliged to own or provide this equipment. The TSO should give the IP an option to own this equipment permanently, or to transfer ownership to the TSO once constructed; and…
The objective of the Guidelines is to provide flexibility to an IP in respect of ownership and the means of cost recovery. By allowing an IP to own the station, it can choose how it funds the capital expenditure and be assured of a competitive cost.
As MDL does not fully address the requirements of a delivery interconnection, an interconnection policy should provide guidance in respect of delivery point interconnections. The delivery interconnection point is amended so that an interconnecting party (or a third party appointed by the IP) can construct the station and then transfer ownership to the TSO, enabling the IP a similar degree of financing flexibility.
Appendix A Documentation
Interconnection Policy
An interconnection policy should include:
Relevant policies and standards:
h) general policies relating to interconnection matters, including:
I the use of existing interconnection points;
ii equipment ownership and ownership transfer; and
iii other relevant policy matters;
i) links to other policies and technical standards relevant to interconnection, including:
i pricing policy;
ii list of TSO-specified assets; and
iii technical standards;
Technical review principles:
l) a description of the process and principles that will be used to assess the technical acceptability of an interconnection application.
Neither has a specific interconnection policy; however, many aspects of the policy are addressed by each TSO in various documents. An overarching interconnection policy would provide greater clarity to an interconnecting party (IP). A policy would provide a clear process for both parties in respect of information requirements, timelines, and responsibilities.
Current review material
Letter to Minister of Energy and Resources Update on progress, December 2013
Notes that two interconnections to the Vector pipeline had occurred and been reviewed, but that significant interconnections to the Maui pipeline were not expected to occur until early in 2014. Gas Industry Co will provide the Minister with an update at that time.
Letter from Associate Minister of Energy and Resources, March 2011
Acknowledging progress and requesting Gas Industry Co to '…undertake a formal review of the current interconnection arrangements after the next two interconnections to each of the transmission pipelines, or by the end of 2013, whichever is sooner'.
Gas Industry Co has completed its review of transmission pipeline interconnection arrangements. Our advice to the Minister is that regulation is unnecessary at this stage. The TSOs have made efforts to improve their processes to align with the Guidelines and objectives of the Gas Act and GPS. Although we think dispute resolution processes can be improved further, we believe this can be achieved without regulation.
We propose that, once the TSOs' new arrangements are in place, Gas Industry Co will review how well they perform in practice by evaluating the next interconnections to the Vector and MDL pipelines. We will then make the appropriate recommendations.

Ducati Hypermotard Concept Bike and 130bhp Monster
November 16, 2005 Ducati used the opening of the EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan yesterday to show two new motorcycles – one you can buy and a concept that Ducati is considering for production. The bike you can buy (as a 2007 model in 2006) is the new king of the naked bike class, the MONSTER S4RS TESTASTRETTA, a minimalist machine powered by the legendary Testastretta engine which has won several World Superbike championships and puts 130 brake horsepower on the tarmac (150 bhp with an optional exhaust). Equally as delectable and appealing as the S4RS was the Hypermotard concept machine – an extension of the supermotard class of machines using an air-cooled 1000 Dual Spark engine and weighing in at just 175 kilograms.

Endurance athletes from around the world will emerge as winners thanks to the XTERRA USA Championship weekend at Snowbasin Resort this September.
The XTERRA USA Championship off-road triathlon is set for Saturday, September 21, with the XTERRA Trail Run National Championship to follow on Sunday, September 22.
Both events will take place at the picturesque Snowbasin Resort – a world-class ski resort that hosted the downhill and super G races for the 2002 Winter Olympics, and more than 1,500 athletes from across the country and around the world will participate. Professional champions will be crowned, and amateur age-group athletes ranging from 10 to 80 will earn XTERRA National Champion status.
"Nationals" is the culmination of all 150+ XTERRA U.S. off-road triathlon and trail running events held in 2013 and both events will be filmed for nationally syndicated TV programs exposing the beauty of Utah to millions.
"We are thrilled to have the XTERRA USA Championship and the Trail Run Championships back in Utah, and feel these two events are a great fit for Utah," said Jeff Robbins, president & CEO of the Utah Sports Commission. "These events showcase the state's natural beauty and world-class venues and provide significant economic impact and image building to Utah."
Snowbasin Resort is located just 35 miles north of Salt Lake City and boasts an incredible collection of trails, which are nothing short of spectacular in late September as the fall colors start bursting in an array of red, pink, orange, and yellow.
"September is always a special time of year for us at Snowbasin as we look forward to welcoming an ever-growing international field of participants for a couple of great races that truly showcase the beauty of the resort and our mountain trails," said Steve Andrus, Snowbasin Resorts sport event operations director.
Ogden Mayor Mike Caldwell played a significant role in bringing the XTERRA USA Championship weekend to Utah. He is a past XTERRA competitor, and served as race director for the first XTERRA race in Ogden back in 2004.
In 2009, Odgen and Snowbasin were named hosts for XTERRA's America Tour triathlon finale – the XTERRA USA Championship – and by 2011 the XTERRA Trail Run National Championship was added, creating the current weekend of events.
The Get Out and Live (GOAL) organization also plays a significant role in the weekend, providing hundreds of volunteers to assist during the events.
"XTERRA is a unique event for our community that has grown and progressed over the past eight years into a world-class event," Caldwell said. "It is a huge part of our community's DNA. These athletes and race organizers have become part of our family providing an opportunity for us to form lasting friendships with people from all over the world. Not only do I enjoy the homecoming feel the event brings, it also has great economic impact for Ogden. Our hotels sell out and our restaurants fill up. XTERRA is proof that what GOAL is doing, works. I love XTERRA. It is the perfect fit for Ogden, and I look forward to this weekend every year knowing this year will be the best yet."
The home-state Utah people are also invited to participate in the prestigious events, as there are open divisions for amateurs in both the triathlon and trail run.
In addition to the races, XTERRA will host an expo in downtown Ogden with free kids races, vendor booths, a Paul Mitchell hair cut-a-thon for charity, and evening dinner parties. Simultaneously, Ogden hosts its 12th annual Harvest Moon Festival with more than 25 family-friendly activities, including live music, kid's activities, and downtown criterium races.
"We love bringing our entire XTERRA Tribe together in Utah; the energy level is off the charts," said Janet Clark, president of XTERRA. "Ogden and Snowbasin are proven winners – between the facilities at Snowbasin, the great restaurants and atmosphere along Historic 25th Street in Ogden, the Harvest Moon Festival, and the unbelievably supportive community – we couldn't have asked for a better situation."

Thank you :)

Thank you :)
I had apparently added a profile for tethering, and now my network isn't recognized. I'm jb'd at 3.1, and used the download ipcc/terminal method to get to 5.5, and I removed the two hacker profiles for tethering.
Then I restarted, still no MMS.
What am I doing wrong?
Also, how do I get ATT to be my network again?
I had this same problem...
It seems that at&t can now see that we are using tethering in firmware 3.1+. i ended up calling them to ask why my mms would work and they took me through some troubleshooting and then strait up said you have a carrier update that you shouldn't that allows you to use tethering, please remove it now! its not like i could say anything so i did and they activated my mms and i now can't get tethering to work at all........:mad::confused::mad:
p.s. we are happy to know that our tutorial for activating mms works fine for everyone with 3.0 and 3.0.1 fw except what happened to "joserpaq" we are unaware of how what happened, happened however we are happy that someone has helped you to fix that problem, if we find a way to get tethering to work on 3.1 we will defiantly post it on our blog(but nothing yet on that front)...
Well, at least for me it seems, I was wrong. I restarted another time, and voila, the camera icon has appeared. So actually, it looks like it works at 3.1 as well :)
Huh. Hadn't tried it actually. I never really used tethering because I couldn't get it to work, but the option did appear in my settings. However, it is now gone.
As far as MMS goes, it does seem to be working at the moment.
can someone help me with mms trouble too? I'm not on a att data plan but i do have unlimited text messaging though. Why isn't working? I have the latest data carrier as well as properly activated with att and jailbroken otb of 3.1 3GS.... do you really need data plan for mms to work?
With that said, however, I do believe MMS uses a data connection to send the information, unlike SMS which piggy-backs on existing cell traffic. That may be why MMS won't work without a data plan...
so how would other phone send mms then? do they need a data plan too? that's BS if you ask me!
I know my Motorola RAZR v3xx used to use data to send its MMS -- I was charged per kb as opposed to per message -- but that may have been the provider? A quick google search has illustrated that apparently the internet does not have a definitive answer for this. :)
You may want to call them and ask them to add a pay per use data plan, see if that allows you to send MMS, then immediately call them back and cancel it after testing. Sure, you'll pay for the data usage of that one MMS, but you'll have a definitive answer and google will be able to answer yet another question :D
Good luck!

CU: Parent Access to Student Records
Before you start…
Each parent will need a valid CedarNet Username and password to access the student's financial and academic records. Academic records include grades at the end of the semester. Grades are not available for classes currently in progress. Grades are available at the end of the semester by clicking the "View your transcript" link. See the video for further instructions.
Parents have limited access to student records and are not able to access student email.
Parents who are Cedarville University alumni or have another child who attends/attended Cedarville University may already have a username and password.
If you do not have a username and password, one will be automatically created when your student authorizes electronic access to his/her records. If you have lost or forgotten your username or password, contact Information Technology at 937-766-7905.
Students must grant parental access permission before parents can access the student's records through CedarInfo. This only gives parents access to financial and academic records. Parents cannot access student's email. Parents also need their own username and password and are not to use their student's login information.
For step-by-step instructions on the process, click on the [PDF Printable Instructions] or [Demonstration Video] below.
If you would like to remove your parent's access to your student records, see the computer help page on how to remove parent access.

Other features include pull-up turrets so there are no caps to lose and a 3-point erector system with an improved spring design. All of these features make this scope ideal for everything from hunting to long range target shooting. The Weaver Super Slam is water, fog and shockproof and is covered by a limited lifetime warranty. Powered by a CR2032 3V lithium battery.

I woke up yesterday morning and found myself paralyzed. I lay in bed and couldn't move. I didn't even know what I was worried about, I was so worried. Eventually, I got myself up, shaved with trembling hands, and made my way to the office. I got to my desk and read the headlines. Then I really couldn't move.
A steely hand wrapped its skeletal fingers around my windpipe and would not let go. "Eek," I said, since it was the only thing that would emerge from my ratcheted esophagus.
All day yesterday I sat here in a cold sweat. Now I figure, what the hey. I can't be like this forever. Perhaps if I articulate what's got me so freaky-deaky, it will pass. Or not. Either way, it'll be better than this emotional and professional rictus.
Here's my list:
You know what? When bad stuff happens, let me know. Until then, I'm going to try to remember some things: It's spring. We're alive. And bonds are still doing okay. I think.

Jim Colgan
Former digital editor at The Takeaway, former producer at The Brian Lehrer Show.
Relationships drive the social media site Facebook: The friends you let into your network, the groups you seek to join. Relationships are also the crux of Facebook, the movie (aka "The Social Network"). In fact, it's the only part of the movie we're sure is true.
Few people, if any, know what really happened between Harvard nerd, Mark Zuckerberg, and his rivals, the Winklevoss twins, who were clean cut crew champions. But we know that TheFacebook.com, as the website was once called, catapulted Zuckerberg from being the CEO of a small startup to a billionaire in a few short years. There were some frayed partnerships along the way, the kind of relationships that can end in multi-million-dollar settlements.
Which is why this film resonates so much with a tech crowd as much as the mainstream movie-goers its Hollywood backers are trying to lure.
"Relationships are one of the biggest elements," says Ben Fischer, one of about 300 entrepreneurs and tech workers at an opening night screening of the movie in Manhattan.
The screening was organized by the New York Tech Meetup, a 15,000 member group that has been forging relationships within the city's tech startup world for the past six years. The group was so excited about "The Social Network," they rented a movie theater in midtown for the screening.
Based on these entrepreneurs' reactions, the actual facts aren't the most importatant aspect of the film.
"I'm fairly familiar with the back story — at least what's been published. So I try to identify what's inaccurate," says Fischer, who runs a company called Urban Pre-Game, among other projects. "But what I do know is that being an entrepreneur, my spine tingled."
It's possible that this kind of appeal to the tech crowd would come at the cost of losing the average social media using audience. At least it did for Liz Tran, who was dragged along by her entrepreneur boyfriend. During the movie, "I got really bored and I went on Facebook," she says. Her boyfriend, however, loved it.
But the lines snaking out the door for a regular public screening right after this one would indicate it does have mainstream appeal, not to mention the rave reviews it's getting.
As for the drama of startups, not every entrepreneur wants to have the same experience that Mark Zuckerberg endured (or created?) with his partners.
"I'm sure it resonates with a lot of people who are involved in startups," says Anna Lindow, who works for one herself. "But I would prefer to be involved in startups without so much drama."

I'm not sure why the install instructions say .NET Framework 4 will not work, as it seems to be working just fine with 4 for me. Is that part of the instructions perhaps outdated?
Either way thanks for the mod! It's great to have a better idea of which players on my team I want to try to support, and which enemies to be extra careful around :)

585 square feet is an ideal candidate for a split mini system. First, it eliminates need to install ductwork, which may or may not be a big deal depending on access. If you are in a climate where a heat pump will suffice for heating, a heat pump system will work well. You cannot adequately heat and/or cool two rooms with any kind of wall or window system, due to lack of air circulation.
With the mini split, you would of course choose a flex multizone unit, with an air handler in each of the bedrooms, and one in the living/dining/kitchen area.
If you are in a cold climate ( below 30º) then you need better heat, and will need to consider a full size system , with electric heat air handler or gas furnace.

13233 Pond Springs Rd Ste 323, Austin, TX | Directions 7872930.446419 -97.778953
Never, EVER Again – First of all, finding this place is next to impossible. Second, the employees (owners could not possibly be this rude!) are HORRIBLE. I would not consign, nor would I ever attempt to shop at this place again. I rarely take the time to write a bad review, but this experience was SO BAD i had to make an exception.
Just between us – Not realizing how much out of the way this address is for me, I drove about thirty miles to this hard-to-find address to consign some clothes. When I got there, a very unpleasant woman who was dusting the shelves told me they were closed on Monday. There was no way that I could know this and she made it clear that she would not make an exception, even after I told her how far I had driven and that I had had trouble finding the little street and the little shopping center. I don't know if she was an owner but, regardless, one should not be treated as if they did you a favor to talk to you.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS, especially miserable owner – I have frequented consignment shops in austin for a many years and felt compelled to write a review. This may have been the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I am a single mother and have to say kids are not welcome anywhere near the store. We love shopping at consignment shops because of the potential for great savings. Unfortunately that is just not the case at "Just Between Us". I had the feeling that the joke about overcharging the public is Just Between them. The feeling that my children had when entering the store was that of pure fear. My daughter wanted to try on a few dresses tand asked a woman for assistance. This woman decided to suggest to my daughter that her body type would not work well with the dress. It was funny that this women would say anything about looks because she looked scary and half drunk. She was about 65 with boyish short hair and nostrils that flared up after every word she spoke. My children are sensitive and my daughter will not stop talking about how hurt she was by this women. If you go to the store please avoid her at all costs!! After reading other reviews I wonder we went to the same store. I never post negative comments, but this women was out of line. Avoid at all costs
Enoy consigning & shopping – I just started consigning clothes here a couple of years ago after my children exceeded the size limit accepted at my previous consignment store and I have been pleased. I have found the owners to be personable and easy to work with. You do have to schedule a consignment appointment in advance, but you only have to schedule a date, not a specific time-you can come any time during business hours on the date you chose; that flexibility works well for me. They also allow me to bring large quantities of clothes to consign. They do reject clothes that they consider out of date or that are not in excellent or very good condition, but they are not picky to the point of being ridiculous like consignment stores I have used in the past.
I have also purchased clothing there. I have bought several designer and/or high end tops and skirts at very good prices and in very good condition. I have been pretty excited about some my finds and have gotten compliments on most of the items I have purchased here - no one even knows they came from a consignment store.
I have to admit I am not wild about their "accounting" system. When I go in to pick up my payment and they are thumbing through a spiral notebook and adding up my sales I do wonder if they are really getting all of them and I cannot believe that a business that has been around as long as they have doesn't at least have the information on a computer. I guess they could still omit sales, but a computer would look more professional and increase my confidence that I am really getting 100% of the money I should - I don't spend alot of time worrying about that though since my main reason for consigning is to get rid of clothes we have either outgrown or don't wear anymore and I support the charitable organization that they donate the unsold clothing to.
Overall, I enjoy doing business with Just Between Us.
Very Helpful Owners – I love to shop at thrift stores for my family. When I can't use items, I take them to Just Between Us for sale. I have always found the two owners to be very helpful. There are times that they do not take an item that I bring, but they will always tell me..."It is out of date", "Women aren't wearing that style anymore". I have learned a lot from them and glad that I live close. I have also shopped there and have found bargains. It is true that the shop is small.
OVERALL A GREAT PLACE TO DO BUSINESS – I have been a consignor at JBU for many many years (since the early '80's). While I have always gotten a reasonable share of the sale price I have found at least one half of the ownership to be quite terse and not the most up front when it comes to telling you what items she will accept and which she will accept later (b/c it is out of season) or not accept at all. You get the feeling you are wasting her time (or taking her away from something else she would prefer to be doing). I have never purchased items but I can appreciate the fact that they don't take ANYTHING outdated, stained, pilled, or otherwise damaged. It is not easy for me to get in there to take things for consignment so making the appointment to take stuff is a hassle. I liked it better when you could just walk in with your items. Overall, I have had good experiences.
Guilt Free Shopping – This is a great resale store . They have clothes for Ladies and Juniors. Almost new.
Rude Owners – I stopped into this store one afternoon with the intent to sell some clothing. I noticed it was close to closing time so I went in and asked if it would be better if I came back another time. I was met with a very rude "yes" and no further instruction. So, a few days later I took off work a little early and went back in only to realize that I needed an appointment to sell clothing. I was rather put out that I wasn't told this the first time but after hearing the long line of restrictions and the treatment I got from both of the co-owners of this establishment, I realized I didn't need this dump anyway.

Oak Wilt
Oak wilt is a lethal fungal disease that plugs the water conducting system in an oak tree. It can occur in all species of oak, but will very quickly kill red oaks.
Prompt diagnosis is crucial. The primary symptom is wilting of the leaves and early defoliation. In the red oak group wilting generally progresses from the top of the canopy downward. In white & bur oaks, wilting may occur on branches scattered throughout the tree. These symptoms may also be cause by anthracnose, bur oak blight or two-lined chestnut borer. Laboratory testing may be needed to confirm oak wilt.
Glaxo Smith has been fined three billion dollars for falsely advertising its products to customers for whom there is no help and actually could kill them. Yes, this company had lavish parties and trips for physicians to convince them to sell their products [prescribe them] to children, though there was no licensure to sell them to younger patients. In fact, some of the targeted audience could actually be severely harmed or even killed when using them. This is but a tiny fraction of the abuses that are rising rapidly in the greed-filled universe of capitalism.
Free enterprise is wonderful. Free enterprise helped build the fortunes and lifestyles of successful Western World nations and cultures. That being stated, free enterprise has had to be penalized and held in check many times since the Industrial Revolution. Child labor abuses, unfair labor practices, products harming or killing people, destruction of the environment, ad infinitum, have all been a mark of unbridled capitalism.
Long Division
The changes that have come to this country in the past few years seem unbelievable. We have become more polarized politically than perhaps any other time in US history. We spend five or six years pleading for us to come together. That time has ended. Whether it's hopeless or not, we now stand to be hopelessly and helplessly divided. Welcome to the new era of the United States.
Last week's Supreme Court decision on the state of Obamacare cemented our divisions. On one side are the people who believe that health care is a right. Cost is not a factor when it comes to saving lives. We must do what is morally right or even what's in the Bible. And what comes to paying for this, who cares? Ill come from the rich, will come from the middle class. It may become from the poor. It would be borrowed money. Who knows? Who cares?
It's wonderful to be able to openly express one's patriotism. Not enough citizens do so. They should be ashamed. Show the flag! Wear a flag pin on your lapel! Show the flag around your home! Stand proudly when the flag is presented! Sing along when the National Anthem is played!
Be proud of our national heritage! Pay tribute to our Fallen Heroes! Recognize the threat we have from foreign nations and peoples! Be proud of your religion! Teach your kids to be loyal patriots! Support budget items for the military! Don't waste government money on frivilous items! Speak loudly in support of math, science, and business courses! Keep a lid on budgetary items for marginal things like the arts! Watch your neighbor's national loyalty! No welfare slackers, work for a living!
A Public Thank You to the Kass Family

TEA PARTY "Patriots"
Oh, how patriotic are those Tea Party Republicans. How quick they are to join in the celebration of our military veterans ..............as long as they're Republicans, and the "right kind" of Republicans.
The sham of the Tea Party patriots was clearly unmasked in the heated Illinois fight for Congress between Congressman Joe Walsh and Democrat Tammy Duckworth. A woman who is a Democrat running against a man who is a Tea Party Republican. She is a proud candidate, he is a sexist double-talker.
Global Warming Ruins Summer
We certainly can't take this opportunity to waste a long hot summer with few days of rain without mentioning our global warming is going to make something like mild winters and storm free summers and turn it into something terrible. This is something to be feared.
My lawn started turning brown in May this year. Earlier than it ever has before. I spend my nights and weekends moving sprinklers around. We see storms and floods all around us and come to the one singularity that caused it all-global warming.
It is difficult to narrow down a wide variety of people and their beliefs because platforms can be somewhat complex, and they do not represent all of the people being categorized. This is further complicated by people being totally unaware of their own beliefs, or in denial about what motivates their strongly-held feelings.
Nevertheless, I shall try. Please remember I am announcing in advance that this does not include all people who lean to the conservative side of the political ledger, but is perhaps more represenative of the new right, the tea-party types, the new fascism, the more extremist viewpoints that have taken over the Republican Party in the U.S. But just as bigots have always done, they will deny these characterizations. Deny away.
Finally! Finally a nationally syndicated columnist, Richard Cohen, got it right. Finally I find someone who recognizes the truth about Obama and about liberals and about liberalism. Whew! What took so long?
In his column "The liberal Obama that never was," published nationally on July 12, 2012, Richard Cohen writes as follows:
Why Would You Do It?
I sometimes wonder how anyone could think of voting for Barack Obama in the upcoming November election. With that economy looming, liberals, Democrats, and water carriers are all spewing the same talking points again and again. What sets the question, what are Americans supposed to? Are we supposed to accept 8% unemployment as normal? Is 1% growth in GDP now considered to be great? Is the tax system that is already burdensome supposed to be considered too low?
Let's see if we're better off than we were four years ago. The financial crisis just beginning, President George Bush and Congress enacted TARP to prevent the economy from falling off a cliff. The money was to be paid back. As banks paid back the money, the Obama administration had taken over by that time, used it to spend on their own crony capitalist projects. In return, we got a stimulus bill that did not stimulate, a healthcare bill that is going to accelerate bankruptcy of this country and other jobs bills that went nowhere.
Oh, poor Mitt Romney! All those questions about his background. All those personal questions. Give poor Mitt a break and lay off of him. Poor guy. Let's all move to lying and criticizing and asking questions about Barack Obama instead.
When you ask if Mitt Romney has any assets that he is hiding in tax shelters or other things that give him a great leg-up on ordinary Americans, that is unfair!?!
While we all suffer through the agonizing and anti-intellectual drama known as the presidential election cycle, I have to wonder who is more uncomfortable with Mitt Romney, Democrats or Republicans?
It is one thing to try and erase Romneycare from Mitt's background so Democrats don't use it in the election, but it is quite anorther to try and erase it from the minds of frantic and desperate tea-partiers and extreme right-wingers. After all, the cornerstone of the Obama administration, health care reform, was forged to a great extent from what Governor Romney proposed and got sanctioned in Massachusetts. And not only that, but Romneycare/Obamacare is extremely popular and successful in Massachusetts. Wow, how [and why?] would any honest candidate try to distance himself or herself from success like that? Awkward.
Thanks for Nothing
You didn't do anything.
In a speech earlier this week, President Obama let us know what he really thinks. Americans are a bunch of lazy, unmotivated, credit grabbing sloths. There's no such thing as human achievement. There's no such thing as goal attainment. There is no such thing as individual initiative. The government has done it all for us.
Six right-wing members of Congress want Secretary of State Clinton's assistant to be investigated for "connections to the Moslem Brotherhood." The assistant in question is from a Moslem family. However she is married to a Jew, has proven herself over and over to be a loyal American, and even had U.S. Senator John McCain come to her defense, as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives [both Republicans]. But the right-wing in America is out-of-control. It strongly frames its message and aims it at the most anti-intellectual individuals and groups in the U.S.
The aim of these anti-intellectual people is to confuse issues, lie, deceive for the benefit of the greediest and richest people, seek additional and ongoing benefits for the rich and greedy corporations, divide and conquer, and discredit scientific evidence when it is not supportive of their greed, cloak war greed in the dress of patriotism and loyalty, etc. That was the same formula used in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in the 1930s and 1940s. Let's call this political formulation for what it is: Fascism.
AURORA: A call to wake-up...again!
As the rest of the industrialized world once again watches America plunge deeper and deeper into the abyss of guns-guns-guns, some NRA puppets defend weaponry craziness with references to the Constitution and the Second Amendment. I have read that Amendment hundreds of times and cannot find anything there that defends or justifies the insanity of gun proliferation in the United States. A regulated militia, I can understand, and that refers to police, National Guard, and the national military forces. But it does not refer to every kook in America having the right to own a gun.
It is easier to understand the greedy lobbying groups that get special favors and tax evading measures for corporations, the wealthy, and the military-industrial complex than it is to understand why we get goofy about the right of every household, every individual to have a gun or guns; and irrationally support lobbying groups like the NRA to promote its irrational arguments. Please, read the Second Amendment yourself. Read it!
If you want to pay attention to an honest, candid, and insightful politician, listen to what Mayor Bloomberg of New York City is saying. What city mayor has had more experience with gun violence than Bloomberg? He is straight-forward enough to speak about guns without bowing to the pressure of gun nuts and those organizations and companies that make their living by defending guns and the aftermath of the tragedies related to gun proliferation. The promotion of guns in our society is a symptom of a sick society. Sick.
Read the Second Amendment. If you think the correct interpretation of that is to guaranty the right for every American to own a gun, then you like to think in terms of the 18th century. What person in their right mind would make that interpretation? Sure, guns were common in the 1700s; they were used to hunt for food necessities, protect one from wild animals, and live in areas where there was no stable, organized police force. The social structure was different in the 1700s, and almost everything else as well. Our Founding Fathers gave the vote to only adult white males. Women could not vote. Slavery was legal, and sanctified by some of the Founding Fathers themselves. Should the NRA defend that as well as guns? The time-frame is vastly different. Any society that allows attack weapons as legal is a sick society. Sick.
Why was there no one alerted to the insane and dangerous actions of the Aurora killer before he killed and wounded scores of people in a movie theater? We read about the police, the FBI, the CIA, etc. catching would-be terrorists before they commit atrocities. Why not this time? Why not in Aurora, Colorado?
The major part of the answer is very simple. He did not have a Moslem name! That's it. Yes, that is it.
Tax Returns Matter
Tax returns is going to be a major issue in this fall's election. Will it be about Mitt Romney's tax returns? Or will it be about the tax returns of everyone else in America?
Tax returns is going to be a major issue in this fall's election. Will it be about Mitt Romney's tax returns? Or will it be about the tax returns of everyone else in America?
HONESTY? Too much to ask?
I'm still waiting for President Obama to make good on his promise to close horrible Guantanamo. I'm still waiting on some enlightened politician to promote what we greatly need: universal health care in the U.S. I'm still waiting for some sanity from a politician about the control of all guns in the U.S. While these would be civilized, sane, insightful, needed actions, they seem like a only a pipe dream in today's hostile, killing, greedy climate in the U.S. It seems so very strange that civilized thought and action are not only absent in American thought and culture, but that they are considered radical. How far will we go to commit national suicide in America?
Elections in the U.S. have become so brutal, lie-filled, deception-loaded, greedy, dishonest, etc. that I gag when I think what is now being said in this election cycle, with more horrors to come as November nears.
WHEW! Romney's finally home.
Comedy of errors? Foreign affairs faux pas? Diplomatic disaster? Miscalculation? Insult to Palestinian culture? Insult to British intelligence? Looking like a confused scarecrow? Incompetent [with money]?
Mitt's back in the U.S.A. Whew! We understand here about crude and awkward wealthy people. After all, we have Paris Hilton and Donald Trump. But when he goes outside our borders he simply personifies the rich, misinformed, greedy, selfish, nincompoop.

A Leaf of Their Own
Dominican Republic cigarmakers are following the example of Fuente Fuente OpusX and growing their own wrapper tobacco
David Savona
From the Print Edition:
Cuban Spy Scandal, May/Jun 02
Sitting under the soft hum of fans that pump moist air into the wood-lined humidor, the dark, oily cigar doesn't look much different from all the others in the cigar shop. The wrapper is rich and dark, fairly oily, with a scant trace of bumpy tooth. Most of the leaf is covered by a thin wrapping of cedar. The cap is slightly rounded. The band reads "Ramon Allones, 1837," but the cigar it is wrapped around first went on sale in late 2001.
The modest exterior and half-hidden cloak belie the cigar's pedigree—it's a truly historic creation, a rare beast in the cigar world. For this Ramon Allones is made with a premium wrapper leaf grown in the Dominican Republic, which for much of its history was a cigar country that common wisdom said could not grow fine wrapper tobacco.
Last year, the Ramon Allones joined the Fuente Fuente OpusX in the exclusive club of major brands made with true Dominican wrapper. (During the cigar boom, other cigars were wrapped with Dominican leaf of substandard quality that couldn't be classified wrapper grade, and the Breton Corojo was introduced in 1999 with Dominican shade, but was, and remains, far too small to be called a major brand.) The group won't be so restricted much longer. That rarest of cigar endeavors—growing wrapper tobacco in the Dominican Republic—is becoming a popular pursuit.
"Growing wrapper is the major leagues of tobacco growing," says Litto Gomez, the maker of La Flor Dominicana cigars. For several years the dapper-dressing Gomez has grown filler, the rough, hidden leaves that flavor a premium cigar. Getting to that stage was a giant leap, one that necessitated his learning a new business from scratch. But his ultimate goal is far more challenging—this season, for the first time, he is growing wrapper tobacco, the outside leaf that envelops a cigar. The wrapper is the most expensive component in a cigar, and the most difficult to grow.
Gomez is growing 15 acres of wrapper, half of it shade, on his tobacco farm in La Canella, a windy area of the Dominican Republic. "If you're a cigarmaker and you grow tobacco, you want to have your own wrapper, too," he says. "That's the final goal."
Gomez is following in the very big footsteps of Carlos Fuente Jr., the man who planted the Cuban seeds that grew into Fuente Fuente OpusX wrappers. The brand is the hottest cigar in the history of cigar sales and is frequently marked up by a factor of two, three and even six times its suggested retail price. Its distinction is its reddish-brown wrapper, grown under cheesecloth shade in El Caribe, a town on the road between Santo Domingo and Santiago distinguished by its reddish, claylike soil.
Today, Fuente's venture is a tremendous success. Ten years ago, many thought it would ruin his company.
"In 1992, there was a strong opinion. They said you could not grow wrapper on this island," Fuente Jr. now says. "There were so many ridiculous theories." Even after he had cigars on the market, some questioned whether the Fuente Fuente OpusX wrapper was truly Dominican. "They said, 'It's not true. It doesn't exist,'" adds Fuente.
Much of the skepticism came from tobacco men who were thinking in economic terms. How could you sell a wrapper leaf grown in a country with no reputation for growing great wrappers? Fuente sidestepped this, keeping the tobacco for himself, vowing never to sell it to another cigarmaker.
Fuente's success has brought him company. Along with La Flor Dominicana, La Aurora S.A., the Dominican Republic's oldest cigar company, Hendrik Kelner, the maker of Davidoffs, and General Cigar Co., the maker of Macanudo cigars, are also growing wrapper in the Dominican Republic. Gomez, Kelner and La Aurora have yet to put a Dominican wrapper on the market.

I was raised a Yankee girl, and had lost all hope of finding a decent bagel south of the Mason Dixon line... till I found this place. Not only do they have awesome selection, it all tastes just as it should. The drive-thru is super fast, and I've never had to have a bagel toasted, as they're always just right straight as they come.
I totally suggest the scallion and bacon and lox spreads, and give their lunch sammiches a try. You'll be pleasantly surprised. ^.^
Really are the beast bagels – The bagels are fabulous. The owner is great and she is super friendly. The staff aren't rude, aren't nice they are just there. no personality.
Decent bagels, but the store and staff need help – The bagels themselves are pretty good. Far better than any franchise bagel (Bruegger's or Panera), however, the store is small and uninviting. Thank goodness for the drive thru. The staff is obviously in need of help. With help wanted signs always posted on the door, the explanation of why the staff seems grumpy is obvious. I would love to see this place turn itself around. Good luck.
